Potential conflicts of interest

Sebastian Stec:

I have the following potential conflicts of interest to report:

Medinice stocks holder, patents: Cryoapplicator, Cathaio catheter, MiniMAx catheter, PACEPRESS

Cohn AE, and Fraser FR. Paroxysmal tachycardia and

the effect of stimulation of the vagus nerve by pressure.

Heart 1913–14;5:93-105
